## Ternate
### Etymology

From Javanese ꦢꦢꦶ (dadi).

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /ˈda.di/

### Verb

dadi (Jawi دادي)
* (intransitive) to happen, occur, come about
* (transitive) to become
    odadi kolano ― he becomes the king
* (auxiliary) to be possible; to be able to, to be capable of
    una otagi dadi ua ― he cannot go
    una hoi ngara, odadi ua ― he cannot open the door
    mina mogolaha meja ge dadi ― she can make that table
    modadi ― she can

#### Usage notes

This auxiliary generally follows the main verb, thought it may rarely precede. It may take the subject clitics (o, mo, etc.) only either for emphasis or when dadi is used as the sole verb in a sentence.

#### Conjugation
### Adverb

dadi (Jawi دادي)
* therefore, thus
    dadi, ngofa ge opoha ri ua ― therefore, the child could not endure it any longer
